When I get fast food, I don’t eat the fries until I get home.

    When I feel bad emotionally, I clean. I do the nastiest, most unpleasant jobs; since I’m gonna be miserable no matter what, I might as well get some use out of it.

      That’s interesting. I wonder if I can trick myself into doing stuff like that as a form of punishment. Generally I find myself unable to move so I just stare into space. Sometimes I have a hard time even moving my arms and legs to drive home from work. Or to get out of the car once I’ve parked out front. How do you manage to start?

      Do you feel that getting the worst jobs done also helps to boost your mood, because that awful thing you didn’t want to do is now done?
